Headline: Eastwood and Damon film Mandela!
25th September 2007
Posted by: Gary Gray

Looks like we are finally going to get a movie based on the life of one of the greatest living people Nelson Mandela.

Clint Eastwood is in talks to direct the flick, with Morgan Freeman playing Mandela and matt Damon in talks to star as the captain of the Springboks (the South African ruby team).

The script by Anthony Peckham is set right after the fall of apartheid, and after Mandela was released from a long imprisonment and became South African president. Mandela recognized the significance when South Africa was selected host of the 1995 Rugby World Cup after the team had been barred from even competing since the 1980s because of apartheid.
